Just finished our Steampunk save the dates!

You guys, Im SO FREAKING PROUD of myself on these. I started from scratch in February and finally finished printing everything this week, and we finished cutting out the StD's out last night! I used cream shimmer paper (after a long disastrous process of getting samples and then the actual order getting f'd up TWICE) & made the entire print files & ran everything on off my mom's office color laser printer (she has her own home businesses).

I made distressing/aged layers in Photoshop & layered them over the heart grid background I made (the heart itself was from an etsy shop download, I'd have to look for which store, but I can post their info if anyone wants it!) Then I put the border together with the other parts & pieces in InDesign & added the text in, printed them, and cut them out one at a time with a sliding style paper cutter. My fiance then punched the corners with a round punch with the hearts & now they're ready to send!
Now I just have to hand print 52 envelopes with our invite lists' addresses! Then do it again for the actual invites! My hands hurt already. I will post the invites + details cards + RSVP cards if anyone wants to see those too when they're done! The borders are slightly different on each card type, but all tie together!

This is the backside - I used the same aging on it as well, so the paper looks old. Smiley smile

    Thanks! I'm so proud of myself, lol, it's my first time doing graphic design stuff since high-school, so it's been a lot more than a 'little while' since using it!

    Thank you! The hearts were a happy accident! The inverted rounded corners punch we ordered got misplaced or something, & the store sent this instead so we just decided to keep it, lol! My fiance thinks it's more fitting
